Attempts to run Elm code on GraalVM using the Truffle API.
Elm code is compiled by the
elm-in-elm compiler to an
intermediate format where the optimised AST nodes are specified in JSON.
See test.json
for an example.
Uses the GraalVM docker image with gradle installed to build and run. A native executable can also be produced using the graal native-image tool.
Note: If you want to run the gradle commands directly,
you can use make shell
run the docker container.
See the Makefile
for gradle arguments.
Currently the result is rather trivial, it just executes the code in test.json
which produces the output 12
. To run via make and docker-compose:
# build and run
make run
# execute unit tests
make test
# create and run linux native executable
make build-native # produces build/grelmnative (25M)
make run-native
The AST in test.json
was compiled from this Elm code:
module Main exposing (main)
double =
\x -> x + x
inc =
\a -> a + 1
main =
double (inc 5)
